Question

Malik created a model of a rectangular flag.

His model is 10 inches long and the actual flag is 25 inches long.

How many times wider is the actual flag than Malik's model?

Answer 1

2.5x

Explanation:

Given information for width:

Model: 10 in.

Real: 25 in.

Solve: How much times wider is real than model?

To find this, lets divide 25in. by 10in to find the scale factor.

25/10 = 2.5

2.5

We can verify this by multiplying 10 by 2.5

10 x 2.5 = 25
